Sumo Japanese Restaurant in Los Altos

This place is like heaven! One of the only sushi I prefer in the whole bag area. The service is amazing. I enjoy everything about this place from the second we walk in we’re filled with pleasant greetings and great energy. The food is superb, the atmosphere is brilliant, I even love the music they play here! This restaurant comes highly recommended!!!

Lovely sushi restaurant in downtown los altos. I had the alaska roll and the bento box with teriyaki salmon. Salmon sushi was so fresh. Pretty empty but it was a Tuesday night. Service was very attentive. Great spot for a date night!!

My husband and I dined at the Sumo Japanese Restaurant in downtown Los Altos on a Thursday evening. It was the perfect way to wait for a tow truck to arrive due to my car’s flat tire! We ate indoors but there are a few outdoor tables. Spacious yet cozy we ate near the window as the hostess promptly served us tea. I ordered the Unagi Donburi (broiled eel with sauce, rice on the bottom and two slices of Takuan (pickled yellow radish) served in a traditional lacquered Unaju box & lid. The unagi was a bit mushy for my taste. My husband ordered a sashimi plate that was presented in a lovely glass bowl filled with ice. He said the sashimi was very fresh and delicate in flavor. Downtown Los Altos has many restaurants to choose from and it was pleasant to be greeted with hot green tea and smiles.

Sushi is legit! Staff is super friendly and attentive. I forgot the name of the roll I ordered but it’s the picture below. It was really tasty. The tempura veggies were delicious too. No boats though, but that doesnt matter to me. I didnt come for the boats. I dont eat boats- I eat sushi.

Although it doesn’t look fancy on the outside, this restaurant was such a lucky find for me and my family. Not only was there service incredibly fast, but the quality of their food blew me away too. My family loved their sushi and teriyaki sticks, saying that the meat was very tender. I’m vegetarian and their fake beef still makes my mouth water as I type this review. The servers were also very courteous and gave us complimentary ice cream at the end. Will definitely be back!

Was not from the local area. Saw the rating, decided to give it a try, but was later shocked by the food quality.The fish was not fresh, at all. One piece was even a little bitter.Tried to tell the waiter but it seems they didnt care.Later I had a lot of fun reading the reviews, especially the recent ones. Guess I was not the only one who enjoyed it.

I love this restaurant so much!! The staff is always so kind and whenever we have guests in town we always bring them here. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and it’s such a favorite with my family that we come here almost every weekend. ❤️

Very poor quality food while also being extremely overpriced. Only redeeming quality is that they have really friendly service. Unfortunately, like the others, we gave this place a shot based on high overall rating, but should have read recent reviews more closely.The bill came out to be as expensive as a fancy steakhouse while the food came out feeling like it was either microwaved appetizers or they screwed up sushi rice or was using old soggy tempura. Im not sure how this place is rated so highly (must have been older reviews and maybe it recently changed chefs or owners?).The server was very friendly and the place had a very local business feel to it, which was definitely something Id love to support, but ultimately the food has to be good and/or worth the price paid!

Really good food, SUPER friendly wait staff, fun and cute atmosphere. All the appetizers were tasty and the oyako don was some of the best Ive ever had. 10/10 will go to again.

You get into a pleasant atmosphere with very friendly staff offering fresh and interestingly prepared dishes. You will have to pay for tea, which is usually served as a compliment in such restaurants 🙂
